I’m going to start out today with a very strong personal statement: I’m disgusted with the way society is sexualizing our children! I see it daily in marketing mailers, on television, in the movies, and in current popular music. In short, we’re deluged by a tsunami of soft-core porn masquerading as art, music and advertising. The result, in my opinion, is the abuse and contamination of our young. I’m sure there will be a lot of people who will disagree when they read this, but I’m willing to bet that there are a lot more of you out there who strongly agree.

I’m not a prude, and I think there is a time and a place for sex-based discussion or literature. But they should never involve our children. To show my disdain, I abstain from filling the pockets of those who offend my sense of decency with my hard-earned money. I feel very protective of our young, and I will never support any venture that uses children in sexual or suggestive ways. With that said, my message today is really more of a cathartic experience for me. So what do you think? Am I a prude and out of touch with today’s reality? Or are you just as disgusted as I am about this unacceptable societal turn?
